58th annual Pensacola Greek Festival - Expired Event

The 58th Annual Pensacola Greek Festival will take place October 13-15, 2017 at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church located at 1720 West Garden Street. This three-day event draws upwards of 30,000 people from across the Southeast. Festival hours are 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM on Friday and Saturday and from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Sunday. Admission is always FREE.

The Pensacola Greek Festival is a staple of the Pensacola Bay area's fall festival lineup, mixing southern hospitality with Hellenic culture and cuisine. The Pensacola Greek Festival is a wonderful opportunity for the Greek community to share their culture, traditions, heritage, faith, food, dance and the fun-loving spirit of Greece right here in our hometown. This year, the Pensacola Greek Festival will be celebrating the island of Samos, a beautiful island some of our parishioners call home. Known for being the home of some of ancient Greece's most famous mathematicians and philosophers, Samos brings to life the embodiment of Greek culture and flair.

Live Greek music and traditional folk dancing will be among the entertainment highlights of the weekend. Youth dancers dressed in traditional costumes, representing various regions of Greece, will perform dance throughout the weekend, and the dance floor is open to everybody between youth sets. The popular Kostas Kastanis band will be back again to play traditional and modern Greek music throughout the weekend.
